If you are looking for the one true branded social platform at one URL 
and with all humans of the world on it, and you want the Ubuntu phone to 
support it then you are doing it wrong. The whole webapp approach based 
on Url patterns seems to be doing it wrong. it supports single url 
instances of software as a service platforms. We have a lens that works 
for bbc.co.uk, a webapp that works for gmail.com etc, they are built to 
work with fixed fully qualified domain names owned by other people.
What would be cool is having the webapp architecture work so that you 
can build a webapp for "elgg instances" so you can go to 
https://elgg.org/ and install elgg on your Ubuntu server for your tennis 
club or school or software community and we have a client for the Ubuntu 
phone that works well with software on your Ubuntu server. Not a client 
on your Ubuntu phone that works OK with a specific proprietary SaaS 
platform that hates freedom.
